The opening four days in the Main Event of the Scandinavian Open Poker Championship held at the Banco Casino brought 814 registrations, from which we recognized a 96-member field of players that made it to the next battles. The guarantee is holding up and there is still a lot to do before it is fulfilled, but more than a quarter of a million is likely to be played for this participation. Whether the first major event of 2024 in Slovakia will conquer the finish line will be decided today, when poker players have three chances to advance:

 

SOPC Main Event 1G – 12:00 / 30 min. blinds

SOPC Main Event 1H – 17:00 / 30 min. blinds

SOPC Main Event 1I Turbo – 22:00 / 15 min. blinds

 

Friday at Banco Casino brought plenty of action from midday onwards and the SOPC Main Event saw poker players from around the world sign up 410 times as the first flight brought 326 entries and 34 advancers and the turbo flight 84 entries which spawned further advancers.

SOPC Main Event 250.000€ GTD – 1E:
